For each Enabled Station that establishes a connection, SDLC creates a Port entity.
1 – show
show sdlc port The show sdlc port command displays the attributes for the SDLC Port subentity. A Port subentity is created dynamically for each connection to a remote station. Each Port is created when a connection is established and deleted when the connection is terminated. Use the command show sdlc port * to display a listing of the existing Ports. Ex, ncl> show sdlc port 1 all counters
1.1 – Identifier
Name A unique value assigned to the Port by the SDLC entity. The value is an unsigned integer.
1.2 – Status
UID Displays the entity's unique identifier, which is generated when the Peer Server creates the entity. Station Displays the name of the SDLC Link Station subentity that the client specified in the connection request. Client Displays the name of the client that connected to this Port's Station. Role Displays whether the station role is to be primary or secondary when it becomes active. Address Displays the address of the secondary station. Transfer Displays the link-level transmit/receive capability Mode for the connection, which is set to the transfer mode characteristic of the SDLC Station. Might be altered during XID negotiation. Modulo Displays the Response Mode supported by the Station. Normal Response Mode supports Send and Receive Window Sizes of 1 to 7. Normal Response Mode Extended supports Send and Receive Window Sizes of 1 to 127. Send Window Displays the negotiated maximum number of transmitted Size I-frames that may be outstanding before the adjacent station requires an acknowledgment response. The value is initialized as the SDLC Station window size and might be reduced during preconnection XID negotiation. Receive Displays the negotiated maximum number Window Size of received I-frames that may be outstanding before this station requires an acknowledgment response. The value is initialized as the SDLC Station Window Size and might be reduced during preconnection XID negotiation. Send Frame Displays the negotiated maximum size of frames Size (excluding header) sent by the connection. This value is initialized as the SDLC receive frame size. The value might be reduced during preconnection XID negotiation. Receive Displays the negotiated maximum size of frames Frame Size (excluding header) received by the connection. This value is initialized as the SDLC Station send frame size. The value might be reduced during preconnection XID negotiation.

Creation Displays the time that the SDLC Port subentity Time was created. Polls Displays the number of frames sent by the primary or received by the secondary with the P-bit set. Octets Sent Displays the total number of octets sent in I-frames and UI-frames. Octets Displays the total number of octets received Received in I-frames and UI-frames. BLUs Sent Displays the total number of I-frames and UI-frames sent. BLUs Displays the total number of I-frames and UI-frames Received received.
